(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Raúl Colón. This poetic celebration of America's game, honoring everything from the diamond and ballparks to players' and spectators' emotions, has a freewheeling, sometimes disorganized feel. Colón's scratchlike colored-pencil art highlights the expansive grass, chalk lines, and base paths and the drama of a fastball and a double play. A foldout near the end with nods to specific players feels tacked on.
